Gibraltar: regler for mattemperatur

«Lov» er en bindende regel. «Offisiell veiledning» er ikke lov, men inspektører forventer det. «Chef Hygiene standard» er en verdi appen sjekker mot der ingen regel oppgir et tall.

• LovHigh-risk food must be kept below 50°F, which is 10°C. This is looser than the UK or Malta (Regulations 1977, reg. 25(2)–(3)). Chef Hygiene checks the fridge against 5°C, its own safer target.
• LovHot food must be kept at 145°F (62.7°C) or more. Chef Hygiene uses 63°C. Food on sale, or brought in within 4 hours before opening, is exempt. The law sets no other grace time (Regulations 1977, reg. 25(3)–(4)).
• LovIf hot food falls below 145°F, cool it below 10°C as quickly as reasonably practicable, then keep it below 10°C. The law gives no time. Chef Hygiene suggests 2 hours.
• LovIncoming high-risk food must be at 145°F or more, or below 50°F, without avoidable delay (Regulations 1977, reg. 25(2)). Chef Hygiene suggests a safer limit of 8°C for chilled deliveries.
• Offisiell veiledningFrozen food: −18°C or colder. This is standard practice, with no Gibraltar rule number.
• Chef Hygiene standardCooking and reheating: the law gives no core temperature. Chef Hygiene checks 75°C in the core.
• Chef Hygiene standardCold display: the law gives no time limit. Chef Hygiene suggests a 4-hour limit.
